Center Console Accessory Plug

Is there any way to change that accessory plug to only be on while the car is on and not on all the time? On my other car, Infiniti G35x, this plug turns off with the car and is very convenient for my fm transmitter for my ipod.

Thanks for any help.

When power goes off, the relay will open and kill power to the outlets.
